 Patrick,
 
 Even more confusing.  I downloaded the 6.03 syslinux tar and extracted all the
 files. It shows 3 pxechn versions, 
 
 [root at localhost_PXENG ~]# cd /tmp/syslinux-6.03
 [root at localhost_PXENG syslinux-6.03]# find . -name pxechn.c32
 ./efi32/com32/modules/pxechn.c32
 ./efi64/com32/modules/pxechn.c32
 ./bios/com32/modules/pxechn.c32
 
 Is it possible to pxechn to a BIOS pxelinux.0?
<<<
 
Syslinux now creates 3 different sets of binaries: bios/efi32/efi64
depending on the pre-OS environment and architecture of your client
you must PXE boot the corresponding NBP and its associated binaries.

Please consider:
1) Today you can use ./bios/com32/modules/pxechn.c32 for chain-loading to
pxelinux.0 on a BIOS (32/64) PC

2) Today you can "not" use ./efiXX/com32/modules/pxechn.c32 for chain-loading to
an EFI application on an EFI (32/64) PC.

Best,
Patrick
